“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”

“Gisel is amazing! She accommodated me with watching my beloved puppy! She’s very responsive and friendly. She also sent over a video just to show well accumulated my puppy was when he got to her residence.”

“Jenn and her husband took great care of Rocky while I was away. I felt confident he was in good hands and was given updates regularly during my trip. Rocky came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend Jenn!”

“Paris took very good care of my golden doodle(big boy Deuce) lol for almost two weeks while I was out of the country. It was my first time using Rover for boarding and I was nervous! But Paris sent me lots of pictures and Deuce came home super happy, I could tell he was very well taken care of! Would definitely use her & her husband again! Great people I was sent lots of photos and videos everyday.Thanks soooo much guys y'all are awesome !!!”

“Great communication and flexibility. They also offered a half price trial overnight which was a great idea. I was uncertain how Riley would do with young children as she’s never had experience with kids younger than middle school age and having this trial before a week long stay made me more comfortable. Riley had a good time with them and Dunkin. We’ve booked that week long stay.”

“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”

“First time boarding my puppy and had to book last minute. Briana & Isaiah responded quickly and made the experience easy and stress free. I could tell quickly that was Benny in great hands! When I picked him up he had the best send off, they truly care. Will definitely book again.”

“Tammy is the absolute best! She boarded my dog at her house while I was on vacation and made the whole experience stress free. She sent daily updates and was so incredibly sweet. Sandy was very happy when i picked her up!”

“Sarah was AMAZING, So easy to work with, her whole family will treat your dog like their own, Teddy didn’t want to leave! Will definitely call Sarah again for any future dog sitting needs! 10/10 first time experience with rover”


“Jasmin and her mom were great. My dog was well cared for and happy when I picked him up. They were able to make Toby feel comfortable in their home- and he played well with their dog. Lovely people- highly recommend.”


“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”

“Molly was very accommodating to me and my fur babies needs. She communicated daily with beautiful pictures. Although it was hard for me to be away from them for so long, I felt comfortable knowing they were well taken care of. She took them on multiple walks and kept them busy. I highly recommend her services.”

“She was my first Rover dog sitter since the person I usually go to couldn’t watch my dog and I will say I was a bit nervous to drop her off at first but Nathaly eased all my concerns. She consistently sent pictures of my dog Venus while I was away, let me know when they were going on walks, her eating patterns and if she peed or poo’d. Honestly, when she told me this was one of her first sits, I was pleasantly surprised by how well she handled it also while having her own dog, Broly (sick name), and managing the two of them. I had no complaints and anyone who choose Nathaly to watch their pet, just know you will get top-of-the-line service and consistent communication. Would book again!”

“After multiple sitters canceling, I found Rover and Danielle, who was happy to watch Remi at the last minute. The universe knew what it was doing, as Danielle and Remi bonded the moment they met. As he spent the majority of his life as a puppy mill papa, Remi can be challenging. As a teacher and a mom, Danielle had the skills and patience to work with him. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and it was easy to see the Remi was happy and content. I’m fairly certain Remi didn’t want to come home !! We couldn’t be happier to have found someone to care for our dog like one of her own! Next time we need somebody to care for our pup, she will absolutely be our first call!”

“Melanie and her family were amazing… Daisy is exhausted from all of the fun that she had. She was kind, and sent pictures and made Daisy feel like family. We are so appreciative.”

Alexis did an amazing job taking care of Joey! She was incredibly gracious and attentive throughout the entire stay, and I really appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. It was reassuring to see Joey happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Alexis was dependable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Joey’s well-being. I would definitely consider using Alexis again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!

Chris and Kelly were great when our pup was having some bad allergy rides and kept us updated. There dog Gigi was a good friend to Gunner. I felt Chris and Kelly were both super responsive to messages and calls during our time away. We would absolutely use them again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Joppa on Rover is $51.17 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Joppa sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Joppa landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Joppa home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Joppa.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Joppa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
